Illegal Alien Truck Driver Accused in Deadly 8-Car Pileup Identified as Indian National Released by Biden Administration
The semi-truck driver allegedly responsible for a horrific eight-car collision that left three people dead and several others injured in Ontario, California, has been identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal alien from India, according to officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported on X that, according to multiple ICE sources, Singh was “caught and released” by border authorities after entering the U.S. illegally at the California border in March 2022 under the Biden administration’s immigration policies.
Melugin stated that ICE had placed a detainer request with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where Singh is currently in custody. He is being held on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter, though formal charges have not yet been filed.
“Police say Singh was speeding and under the influence, never hitting his brakes, when he crashed into slow-moving traffic on the freeway,” Melugin wrote.

Horrific
Dash cam footage shows the driver of this semi doesn’t even attempt to brake before crashing into several vehicles on the 10 freeway in Ontario, California.

The devastating accident occurred on the 10 Freeway and involved four semi-trucks, two pickup trucks, and two passenger vehicles, according to NBC Los Angeles. Authorities confirmed that three people were killed and four others injured when Singh’s red truck slammed into traffic at full speed.
One witness described the moment of impact as resembling “a big explosion.”
“It didn’t stop,” said witness Jason Calmelat, recalling how the truck “didn’t make any kind of maneuvers” before striking the vehicles ahead.
ICE confirmed it has lodged an immigration detainer against Singh, requesting custody once local legal proceedings conclude.
